In my opinion, one of the hardest things to do in photography is to capture lens flares. Lens flares are also one of the coolest tools a photographer can use. If used properly, they can turn an average photo into something amazing. If you are a new photographer, or even if you have a lot of experience with a camera, you should deffinitely try to use lens flares to enhance your photos!

I hate big, bulky watermarks. In my opinion, they get in the way, and on many occasions, ruin a photo. That is why my watermark is small and in the corner of the photo, so that everyone can still enjoy my art, but I still get my deserved credit. Cropping out this mark is a giant insult to me. Photography is my passion, and by removing the mark, you have stripped me of all credit, other than the personal satisfaction of knowing that it was my photo. I refuse to work with people who have done this to me. So, if you have cropped out my watermark for your own personal use. I say that because, this has happened to me a number of times recently on some social media sites, and when my patent is completely processed, it will be an illegal act. I'm not saying this to scare anyone away, all that I'm saying is that these are my photos. I put my heart and soul into these, and all I want is the acknowledgement, and credit that I deserve. I want as many people as possible to enjoy my work, and I want those people to know that it is my work so that they can find more, and truly appreciate it all, instead of one or two photos. I'm sure that there are many other photographers who feel the same way, and we as artists deserve that recognition. 

Anyway, getting back to my normal material, I'd like to share with you a photo of someone who truly does appreciate my work. He is an amazing and talented musician. His name is Joel Cossette, and he has recently quit his job in order to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. That, to me is extremely courageous, and it shows the dedication he has to his craft. By looking at him, you might not think it, but he has the voice of an angel, and the songwriting talent to back it up. I hope that you all go and check him out, and help him make his dream; that he is working so hard to make a reality, come true.

Hello once again everyone! As promised, today I will giving a review of Tenant's first EP "This Just In". But first, here is a shot of their singer Jonathan!

My first impression after listening to this EP is "dang, these guys know how to write music". Every single instrument works extremely well together. It is very obvious that these gentlemen have been around together for a long time, and know how each other play. One thing that always irritates me during an album is a long break of nothing but silence during a song. It isextremely unpractical, and I am never satisfied with the song afterwards. Tenant has one song where there is over four minutes of nothing, followed by a rap-esq song that isn't good, and makes no sense with the rest of the album, or the band. The song's total length: 13:49. A waste of record space that could have been used for four different songs. If you disregard that last song on the EP, I would be close to rating this near perfect. Other than "SWEAT" this is a great effort with amazing writing, that isn't situational, therefor the music lasts. For those who don't know, "This Just In" was recorded nearly ten year ago in 2004, and it seems like it could have been recorded this year.
